Office Communications Online
Business Productivity Online Suite
| IM and
Presence Awareness |
|
Microsoft Office Communications Online delivers robust instant
messaging (IM) and presence functionality that enables real-time
person-to-person communication across an organization. Through
presence awareness, workers can quickly detect a colleague’s
availability for a time-sensitive consult or business-critical
decision. Then connect rapidly using a reliable, security-enhanced
IM solution. Whether team members are in the next room or on the
next continent, the powerful combination of presence awareness and
IM can help improve productivity, drive business efficiencies and
build a more agile organization. |
Office Communications Online service leverages redundant and
geographically dispersed data centers operated by Microsoft around
the world. As a result, Office Communications Online helps simplify
IT management by removing the customer's need to deploy, configure,
monitor and update/upgrade a communications and collaboration
solution on premises. The customer’s service administrator has
access to an easy-to-use online Administration Center console for
managing user accounts and services. Office Communications Online
also includes upgrades to new release versions at no additional
charge, which shifts the burden for upgrade planning and execution
from the customer to Microsoft. |
